"A woman can never be too safe, especially when she is meeting an
attractive stranger for a first date. The smart choice-meeting in a
public place-is not always the decision women make, but should."
The next time you offer your home address to a new man, consider
the following reasons not to:
Safety: A new man is really someone you know nothing
about. Until you get to know him, public meetings offer a cushion of
safety that being alone in your house with
him does not.
Alcohol: People vary in their view of drinking and
driving. it's not a good idea to put your life in the hands of a man
who might drink one too many before he drives you home. When you drive
yourself, you are in charge of how much alcohol is consumed before you
get in the car at the end of the date.
How Long the Date Lasts: Nothing is worse than a
date that drags on too long. Meeting your date puts you in control of
your arrival and, especially, your departure times.
You Don't Have to Clean: Why clean when you don't
have to? If you invite a date to your house, you're more likely to feel
the need to clean up before he arrives. On the other hand, if you meet
him elsewhere, there is no need to spend unnecessary time cleaning.
Sex: As it is, the pressure of sex comes too soon
for most people. The temptation to progress to intimacy becomes more
likely if a man drives you home. An innocent walk to the door can easily
turn into premature sex.
All hoties are not alike-protect yourself by keeping your
home address private. That way, if he turns out to be a creep,
you won't have to fret over who is knocking on your door each time your
bell rings.
